Hope MDT's own personal figure wasn't part of his severance package...

HOW'S FLEX FORCE DOING NOW, HUH? If that budget was put into the Elite line, business would be boomin' so well that Mattel would've had to build a factory on the god forsaken moon!

Love the way some of you think you could run the multi billion dollar company better lol
Its nothing to do with zombies, monsters, ankle articulation, cloth shirts, sound modules, legends, Bill's photoshopped "easter egg" for the poster for him to sign, its because kids dont want toys anymore, they want gadgets, at a much younger age too, the collector market is tiny, nowhere near big enough to sustain a company of Mattels size

It's really sad how severely toy sales are plummeting lately. What the hell do these kids do for fun ? They don't play outside, don't play with toys. As great as Technology is, it's going to completely  future generations |

Who can blame parents for getting their kid a tablet over an action figure? Tablets are 50 bucks and let them connect to the world, learn anything. Toys are outrageously expensive and get tossed under the bed forever within a week.

If that budget was put into Elites then they would need to charge more for the elites because they would be spending more to make them. Which as we all know would mean more bellyaching on this board about how Elites cost too much. lol |

As great as Technology is, it's going to completely future generations Nothing sit on their Xbox all day. I work outside for a living and I rarely if ever see kids outside. Even the ones i know personally sit on their tablet or video games all day. Sickening |
